    CNET Review

    September 21, 2004

    The Good: A 7.1-channel receiver; high-end style and feel; graphic-display remote; all-digital hookup for compatible Denon SACD/DVD-A players; turntable input; versatile surround speaker switching.

    The Bad: The included superslick universal remote may be too advanced for its own good.

    The Bottom Line: Audiophiles craving the very best sound and cutting-edge features will find everything they need in Denon's AVR-3805.
